Only then did the emperor suddenly realize, and his eyes when looking at Ning Wan began to change.
"I admire your courage very much, but this matter is related to the royal family's face. Can you guarantee that this matter will not be leaked and let outsiders know?"
Ning Wan shook his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, you should understand that even if you want to cover up some things, you may not be able to cover them up! These corpse worms have spread to every corner of the Criminal Department, and most of the people in the Criminal Department have been poisoned. If
Without treatment, they will die soon!"
"My lord, I don't know what happened twenty years ago, but to this day, does the emperor hope that the tragedy of that year will continue to happen again?"
The emperor clenched his fists and turned to look at King Di, who was trembling and huddled in the corner.
"If I don't kill you, I can even let you out, but Miss Ning, I want you to make a promise!" The emperor looked at Ning Wan and said.
Ning Wan nodded and said: "I understand the emperor's intention. I will not make any noise about this matter. I also have ways to control the corpse worm, but I have a condition in exchange!"
The emperor raised his eyebrows. This woman was indeed courageous. She spoke and acted with such meticulousness, which was indeed rare among women.
"What conditions do you have, just say it?"
Ning Wan stood up, gave a big salute to the emperor, and then said: "I have nothing to ask for, I only hope that the emperor can promise me one thing, and that is my daughter's future marriage. Only I can make the decision.
Neither the Duke nor the Emperor can force my daughter to marry any man!"
The emperor did not expect that Ning Wan's request turned out to be this. He said in surprise: "As long as you ask, it will be no problem for you to enter the palace as a concubine, but why did you only make such a small request?"
Ning Wan smiled faintly and said respectfully: "Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty, but compared with glory and wealth, I love a free and unfettered life!"
Women in this world all hope to enter the palace, become a concubine, and become the person who shines on the lintel, but Ning Wan doesn't like it at all. If she trades her free life in this life for the so-called wealth and glory, in Ning Wan's eyes,
This is so worthless!
The sky is high and the sea is vast, she also wants to see the scenery all over Kyushu, see the famous mountains and rivers, and the vicissitudes of the sea. These are things that ordinary women may not even dare to think about, but they are what Ning Wan is pursuing now.
"I can promise you that you can make the decision on your future marriage. It's all your own wish to choose a husband. However, I heard that you have been very close to Xiaojiu recently. Is it because of him?
, that you made this request to me?"
The emperor was so wise, how could he easily agree to the conditions? Ning Wan also knew that to fight with the emperor, he had to cheer up, otherwise he would fall into a trap and leave.
"Your Majesty also said it, but it was just a rumor. My daughter, a second cousin, is not worthy of the Ninth Prince! When my daughter and the Third Prince reconciled, it was because the Third Prince originally loved my second sister, Ning Xian'er.
My sister-in-law is like a phoenix, how can I compare to my daughter-in-law?"
The emperor didn't see anything about Ning Wan's refusal. Could it be that the girl's condition was for Helian Mochuan? Thinking of something, the emperor took a jade pendant from his body and handed it to Ning Wan.
"Since it is a promise, there should naturally be a token to prove it. This thing is personal to me and is recognized by all the officials in the court, including Duke Ning. If you encounter any difficulties, you can use it to speak.
When you see this thing in the imperial court, it’s like seeing me in person!”
Ning Wan took the jade pendant in surprise, then knelt on the ground: "My maid, I thank you for your kindness!"
The emperor curled his lips and asked someone to come in and release Ning Wan. Before he could go out, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, the regent has asked to see you, and he is outside now!"
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said: "He came quickly. He got the news as soon as something happened here. It seems that there is someone of his in my palace! Since he is here, let him come in. By the way
Meet an old friend!"
Soon, the sound of a wheelchair was heard, and Su Feng pushed the wheelchair in. The prison had been cleaned, and it looked no different from an ordinary dungeon. However, Helian Mochuan smelled the smell of blood, and his heart skipped a beat.
Got up.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" After this guy came in, his attention was on Ning Wan. Even the emperor standing there was ignored. The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Ning Wan with an increasingly serious look.
becomes profound.
"Mo Chuan, you are really... deeply affectionate towards Miss Ning!" After the emperor finished speaking, Helian Mochuan bowed his hand towards the emperor.
"My brother has lost his composure. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
The emperor looked at Helian Mochuan. Before he could speak, someone spoke first: "Mochuan, it's really you. You're still alive. It's great that you're alive!"
Helian Mochuan looked at the pair of green eyes in the cell in shock. The only person with such a pair of eyes in the world was Helian Moyu, the ninth prince of the late emperor.
"Brother Ninth, you are still alive, but why are you here?" This is the emperor's inner prison. Helian Mochuan had doubts about King Di's disappearance back then, even though he was only six years old at the time.
